Bancroft



NZ are touring Sri Lanka from third of August.
Tour finishes 6th September -final 3CC games don't start until 10th,Short could cover for the Leics game in August.
Personally I think the best Bancroft can hope for is cover for the Aussie openers,Warner and Burns. In which case would it not be in the Aussies interests to allow him to keep ticking over by continuing to play for Durham ?

Why not Short himself. I know he's best known for his smash it about skills but.

A stint in the CC might well be right up his street, makes him more marketable in England.
He will have been here long enough to adjust to the weather conditions if not batting against the Duke ball.

A bit like Warner when he was here for T20. He was keen to play in the championship even though he was looked upon as a T20 specialist.

Why would we not bring in a replacement who could play in the Blast?

Pakistan haven't got any games till November. One of their top order would be amazing.

He was signed on a T20 only contract wasn't he?

That's my understanding.
